| UniProt functional annotation for Q8TZY2 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8TZY2. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| Function: | Required for chromosome condensation and partitioning (By similarity). Binds single-stranded but not double-stranded DNA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15458651, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21117236}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894}. | |
| Domain: | Contains large globular domains required for ATP hydrolysis at each terminus and a third globular domain forming a flexible SMC hinge near the middle of the molecule. These domains are separated by coiled- coil structures. The N- and C-terminus interact to make up an ATP- binding cassette-type ATPase domain. The SMC hinge domain mediates dimerization and binds DNA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01894, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15458651, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21117236}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the SMC family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01894}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAL81967.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
